Kate Merritt is the middle sister. Though if you met Kate you would never guess she was so young. She is wiser beyond her young years. Kate is strong. She learned right away that being the middle sister meant caring for yourself. Kate has only cried about a dozen times. Kate helps care for her father. She tucks him in every time that he comes home drunk, helps her mother and cares for younger sister. Lorena Birdsong is just five years old. Lorena is a pretty brave little girl. When Kate foundLet me just start by saying this is not my preferred genre to read. Most Christian fiction is so focused on romance it makes me want to gag. This one is about a family going through their trials in depression-era times. Not a ton of plot, and it's very predictable. There is a lot of preaching, with all the subtlety of an elephant stomping around a room. And yes, there still manages to be lots of melodramatic romance. Main themes: Pray, even when your faith is weak. Love your family. Resist
WonderfulWhat a wonderful book. The story makes you want to laugh, cry, pray and be joyful. I felt the prayers said by the people.

The Merritt sisters are totally different, Evangeline, is sixteen, and totally lovestruck, while ten year old Victoria loves to fish, leaving Kate to be the responsible one. Her father Victor, is dealing with inner demons, and more often than not turns to alcohol to get thru the day, while Kate's mother Nadine is a steady influence,
I'm very excited about this book that will be out on the market in February 2011. It's set during the Depression years and my what if jumping off spot for this story was the many stories my mother and my aunts told me about growing up during those years. They must have had the oddest neighbors in the world. I changed the people in their stories into my own fictional characters and made up a family drama with the flavor of their background in the setting. There is a parallel WW I love story along
Christian historical WW1 small town storyThis is the story about the Merritt family and all the trials and tribulations that they had to face. From going to war in France during WW1, to letting the memories of his past, his father's disapproval of him almost ruin his marriage. Can a little girl left alone on a church doorstep find an Angel? Even Nadine the woman who Victor married had troubles with her preacher father. If you believe there are angels among us you will enjoy this story of faith,
Every once in a while, I get to read a book that I just do not want to end. That is what Angel Sister was to me. I fell in love with this book very quickly and it grew on me more and more as I kept reading. Now, a small word of warning, this book is not a fast read. It is one of those books that needs to be savored and read at a nice, slow pace. I am actually really starting to like books that read that way because they have a lot of substance and a story with characters I want to spend a lot of
